DECAF

The restrictions are ironic

Restrictions
The source code, design, and structure of DECAF are trade secrets. You will not disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer it, in whole or in part, except to the extent expressly permitted by law. You will not use DECAF for illegal purposes. You will comply with all export laws. DECAF is licensed, not sold.
lol

You have to ask, what is this software doing that you don't know about? Until it is reverse engineered then no one will know will they….although plenty of people will be using it I imagine -)

It's not doing a lot anymore 😉

We want to thank every media outlet, financial supporter, security expert, and forensic investigator that showed us support.

As you probably noticed, your copy of DECAF no longer works. We have self destructed every copy of DECAF. We hope that as you realize this was a publicity stunt to raise awareness for security and the need for better forensic tools that you would reconsider cutting corners on corporate security. Also, our government should not rely on a tool to automate the process of forensics but rather invest in the education of investigators and forensic tool experts.

Really quite odd. So it was all a hoax perpetrated by a Christian fundamentalist?

I think there were several points made, not just the religious aspect. Still strange though.

Apparently DECAF calls home first before is allowed to work. That is how they disabled it.

There is a work around to activate it again, I am not sure if I am allowed to post the link.

Google "Reactivating DECAF in Two Minutes" and the praetorianprefect blog should come up.

Simply use your firewall to block outbound access for the app.

Update If you do that, the app will crash.

There is all ready a working version out there that has the phone home feature removed.

v2.0.1 works perfectly. (no home-calling feature or alike)
